Nate McMillan is a good coach, and he reached his players there. They won because teams could not score as well as they could. Vlad, Rashard, Ray Ray Luke, Daniels could all shoot and teams didnt know how to defend them. On top of that they had 2 stalwarts in Fortson and Evans who were beats on the boards who got any rebound that bounced near them. It basically all just clicked for them and they willed themselves to win.
